Ben Simons, a keen skier and gifted athlete, will be competing in his second Winter Olympics in PyeongChang 2018.

After joining GB Bobsleigh in 2012, Ben competed in his first Winter Olympics at Sochi 2014, placing 19th for GB2 alongside Lamin Deen, John Baines and Andrew Matthews. He went on to finish fifth at the World Championships the following year and has been a regular on the international circuit during the past four years, helping GB to a superb World Cup silver medal at Whistler in November 2017.

Ben comes from an athletics background and, having focussed on long jump and triple jump as a junior, has represented Wales after making the switch to sprint.
